How to Avoid Driving Drunk After a Red Rocks Concert?!

The time has come like every year- Red Rocks! We all know how prep for a Red Rocks show goes. You get your tickets months in advance, you count down the days during your work week and you finally arrive at your buddy’s house with a six-pack of your favorite beer tucked under your arm, and you’re ready for the night. But as you drop your car keys on the counter, you wonder, “Who’s driving?”

There are plenty of options for getting up to (and back from) Red Rocks. However, their convenience and reliability depend on how creative you want to get.

RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATER FUN FACTS

How does Red Rocks gets its color?

From iron oxide, the same compound that gives blood and rust their rusty appearance.

By the end of 2016, there will have been almost 2,700 shows organized at Red Rocks.
The venue has broken its own record for most shows in the last six years. Because of the surge in popularity, it isn’t unusual for up 20 bands to play at any given day on the schedule.
Widespread Panic holds the title for most shows at Red Rocks.
In 1985, from Aug. 9-12, Red Rocks belonged to Huey Lewis and the News. The band set the record for most consecutive shows at the venue that year.
There are close to about 8,700 seats at Red Rocks, which spans close to 2.5 miles in length.
There’s also a 100-foot difference in elevation from the stage to the top row so watch how much you drink.
From the top row, you can see all the way to DIA just about 39 miles away.
The Red Rocks Park contains many layers of cross red fusion and of coarse fine grained sedimentary rock called the conglomerate Fountain Formation. The red rock is comprised of the ancient sedimentary remains of the long gone ancestral Rocky Mountains. Three Hundred Million years ago, give or take a few million years, these sediments began the foundations for the Red Rocks that form the park.

Appropriately named in Geologic Timeline of our PALEOZOIC Era is, “The Fountain Formation.” The eastern edge of the Rocky Mountain sediments deposited in this Carboniferous Period is the bulk material that formed what we know today as the monolithic Red Rocks Park, Roxborough State Park, Garden of the Gods and Boulders’ Flatiron locations.

Our Ancestral Rocky Mountains contained metamorphic rock of Granite, Gneiss and Schist’s made of a majority of the minerals feldspar and quartz which comprise these iron rich sandstone sediments seen in the Red Rocks Park. As time went by these Pennsylvanian Period deposits were fueled by torrential rivers in what geologists call a fluvial and alluvial river system. Combined minerals with clay and silts plus elements like iron deposited many layers upon cross bedded layers which became conglomerates under the pressure and heat over the many millions of years. One of The best preserved examples of the Fountain Formation we see today is the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. At this point in Natural History a great nonconformity happens with the 1.8 billion year old metamorphic rock, of what is now Mt. Morrison, and the 300 million year old “Red Rock Fountain Formation.” One can span the great Nonconformity of 1.5 billion years with your hand. The mystery here is that sediments didn’t get laid down for over 1.5 billion where in other places including areas in this state they did get laid down.

The Red Rocks Park went through a couple of the few big geologic time periods. The Carboniferous period saw the formation of the rock. The Permian Period sees the reworking of the ancient sedimentary red rock into dry iron-less natural buff colored sand dunes seen in the next small Red Rocks Park sandstone called the “Lions Formation.” The Red Rocks then was similar to that of the environment down in the Great Sand Dunes National Park here in present day Colorado.
With an estimate of 95% of all ocean life on the planet also disappearing. Some of the best preserved fossilized Colorado Stromatolites have been found here in the Lykins Formation within Red Rocks Park. The Lykins Stromatolites seem to have existed on the other side of the Permian Extinction and may or may not have survived the mass die off of the majority of terrestrial life forms. This Fossil Formation is under -studied in the area of Sedimentology, Paleontology and Paleo Environments with an exception in Geology. It needs further research to clarify.
The next and last geologic time period of the Red Rocks Park is along the eastern park boundary and is mostly in the Triassic Period. Paleontologists believe that many of the Jurassic Dinosaurs and non-Dinosaurs evolved from this era from about 204 Mya. Around the time of the Laramide Mountain Orogeny an uplift of the current Rockies occurred some 72 to 45 million years ago, all the sedimentary red rocks here were pushed up at a near 40 degree angle seen at this angled tilt today.
Sculpted by many years and patient chisel this ongoing carving is forever shaped by wind and waters power struck hammer blows – weathers erosive freeze and thaw. The Fountain, Morrison, and Dakota Sandstone Formation rest more than two miles and 10,000 feet underneath the layers of Denver. Neil Young had inspired a technical adjustment in the venue’s design. After one of his shows, he took note that electrical transformers were causing feedback on his tube amps.

The highest seat at Red Rocks has an elevation of 6,435 feet.
The Utes inhabited the area around Red Rocks for hundreds of years until they were displaced in the late 19th century. Red Rocks Park was initially called the Garden of the Angels and it was given that nickname by a Jefferson County JUDGE.
There were so many people wanting to make changes to the structure like- installing an elevator that would take visitors to the top of Ship Rock and carve the faces of presidents into the park. one person wanted to carve one of the larger boulders into a full-sized replica of an Egyptian sphinx.
The first performance on record was Red Rocks took place in 1906 at the park’s unveiling after being renovated. It featured Denver bandleader Pietro Satriano and his 25-piece brass band.
